      It has been noted in bug #4146524 that the format classes are
      not thread-safe. The wisdom of this decision aside (it's bitten
      a bunch of people, myself included), I have never seen any
      mention of this fact in the documentation. Not being thread-safe
      is a significant limitation on a class, with potentially dire
      results, and not documenting the classes as such is dangerous.
